Description
The Column Collection: Inspired by the architecture of Crete, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The Column Collection takes inspiration from the immortal forms of structure, the pillars & lines of ancient ruins. Take a step back in time, feel the warm sun on your face & the salty breeze in your hair, & stand before the temple of what came before you. These earrings have been lovingly hand carved in wax, then cast in metal using the lost wax casting process. Available in brass, sterling silver, gold vermeil (14k heavy gold plate over sterling silver), or solid 10k gold - please inquire for other metal types. Brass earrings come with 14k gold filled posts & backs & sterling silver have sterling silver posts & backs. 10k gold earrings have 14k posts & backs. They measure just over 5/8" (18mm) long & are quite lightweight. These earrings are made to order - please allow about 2-3 weeks to be made. If they are in stock they'll be shipped much sooner. You will be notified by Etsy when it ships. About the materials: Brass is a lovely & affordable alternative to gold. Depending on an individual's skin chemistry, contact with skin may leave a temporary & harmless dark mark. Like silver, it tends to tarnish over time. Both metals are easily cleaned with household substances such as white toothpaste, or by making a paste with lemon juice & baking soda. A typical jewelry cleaner or cloth works as well.
